As far as this particular section goes: You can, but the sooner the better. As soon as high water comes in, we anticipate that the narrows will fill with logjams again, not that it isn't already full of logs, but right now it's doable. This time of year, we don't really know when the next big high water flood is going to happen. I'd like to think that it won't happen till spring, since the mountain is pretty bony looking and the highest water is usually a result of rain falling on snow (when there's a lot of it) in the spring, but there's a lot of wood that could move around and come into play down there even if it just comes up a few feet.

But not to worry! The rest of the white salmon will be raftable basically year round, and it's all awesome. There's an upper section that's epic this time of year and should be good to go for a while, and has way better rapids than the lower gorge. And the middle is kick ass balls to the wall awesome at high water so there's really never a bad time to come down and raft around here. This is just one of the rivers, there are dozens of them.

That does look really pretty. I love narrow mossy canyons, just not with walled off sticky ledge holes. Eep.

This section still goes! It had aids for a little while after the rains washed some logs down, but we cured that shit with a chainsaw. It's actually cleaner right now than it was all summer. Could get manky again as soon as the water comes up though.
